Chapter 5 Questions and Answers
Of course, the idea of this kind of horse thief infighting would be too scary to speak out.
Therefore, Zhen Tingyun just smiled at the inn clerk, but didn't say much, turned around and went downstairs, and explained some things about the man in black to Manager Lin.
Naturally, she also said something about her idea of taking this opportunity to learn equestrianism with others.
Manager Lin was not as fussy as Mrs. Zhen, but instead said: "Girl wants to learn equestrianism, why don't she wait until she returns to Beijing to report to the master, and let the master come forward to invite the famous teacher Fang is serious... How can I learn from a horse thief?! "
"Although I don't know how to ride a horse, I still know how to read it. This man's riding skills are the best I've ever seen in my life. It would be a pity if I let it go." After speaking, Zhen Tingyun waved his hands very vigorously and made up his mind. Looking like, he said, "Also, I have asked my grandmother for instructions, and her old man has nodded in agreement."
Manager Lin was about to lose his hair because of this wonderful pair of grandparents. Afterwards, he had to go to see the so-called horse thief. When he saw the man's face, he couldn't help but secretly said: These days, thieves look like this. already? ! I'm afraid that the flower picker is not regarded as a horse thief, right?
Thinking that his girl was going to learn equestrianism with this man, Manager Lin didn't sleep well all night, and even angered the heavy rain outside that was never ending.
Fortunately, this heavy rain finally stopped in the middle of the night.
Zhen Tingyun always got up early. When he woke up the next day, he put on his shoes and went to open the window.
I saw that the sky outside was still a little gray and white, and it was only bright, but the rain had stopped. The air in the morning was extraordinarily moist and fresh, and there was still a trace of grass and soil in the cold. She took a deep breath, and then exhaled again. Seeing that the breath out of her mouth condensed into a white mist in an instant, she smiled again.
After laughing, Zhen Tingyun started to wash and change clothes, ready to go downstairs for a walk while Mrs. Zhen and the others were still awake, to go outside the inn to breathe the fresh morning air, and then have breakfast when she came back.
As a result, just as Zhen Tingyun left the door, he heard a sound in the next room. Her eyes moved slightly, and she pursed her lips subconsciously, thinking: It seems that the horse thief is already awake?
Now that he heard the sound, Zhen Tingyun was not in a hurry to go downstairs, and turned around to push the door of the next room.
It stands to reason that the door of this inn room has a plug, which can be closed from the inside. But the man was in a daze yesterday, and there were inn clerks and doctors waiting in and out. The door was just ajar at this time, and Zhen Tingyun pushed it open with a slight push.
When she opened the door, she saw the man leaning on the bed, pressing the quilt with one hand and the forehead with the other, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
Hearing the door open, the man looked up at her.
Yesterday, this man closed his eyes and described him as embarrassed, yet he could still see that his facial features were profound and handsome.
At this point, he opened his eyes.
The morning sun reflected on his side face, and the small half of his face that had lost its blood color revealed an excessive paleness and indifference, with a delicate texture as firm as jade. He looked at Zhen Tingyun who pushed in the door, there was no confusion in his eyes, just a very deep and deep look.
Even if he was just sitting on the bed at this time, he still needed to look up at people, but his posture, expression and eyes made people forget the simple environment of the inn, and at the same time ignored his slightly pale face and his eyes. That rough dress.
As far as he could see, he could only see that his eyes were like a secluded pool, and his eyes were like swords, like a horizontal knife facing a person, sharp and biting to the bone.
Even Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but stop and frowned: These days, horse thieves are always so aggressive?
Of course, Zhen Tingyun grew up in the countryside. Before coming to Beijing, he had another big dream. He felt that he had seen a lot and experienced a lot. Although he was bluffed, he was not to be outdone when he reacted. He looked back and hummed, "What are you staring at?"
Hearing this, the man retracted his gaze, but instead raised his long eyebrows and smiled at Zhen Tingyun.
When he laughed, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, the corners of his lips rose, and the cold and hard lines on his face were softened. Like the melting of ice and snow, and like the light shining into the world through the clouds, the clouds are like brocade, and the brilliance is dazzling.
Everyone loves beauty, and Zhen Tingyun is no exception. She couldn't help but take a few steps forward, then came back to her senses, coughed, and was about to settle the account with this horse thief - from his stealing a horse for no reason, to Zhen Tingyun saving someone's life regardless of his past suspicions, Open a room for him and ask the doctor to buy medicine...
In short, this life-saving grace must be settled first.
Just as Zhen Tingyun was mulling over the draft in his heart, the man casually raised his hand and pointed to the position beside the bed.
Zhen Tingyun hesitated for a while, but sat down with a reserved and dignified fan.
However, at the moment Zhen Tingyun sat down, the man who was sitting on the couch, who was still in a relaxed posture, suddenly bent his eyes, his eyes turned, and his arms were raised like lightning. He grabbed Zhen Tingyun's neck with his hand, and then forced her to look up at him.
His movements are like a cheetah hunting, fast, accurate, ruthless, and graceful and powerful.
So much so that Zhen Tingyun was restrained before he even had time to call out for help.
Zhen Tingyun: "..."
"Don't talk yet." The man's voice was slightly hoarse, as if he was considering the words, and his words were clear, "I ask a question, you answer it. If there is something wrong... I will put a little force on my finger, and your neck will be stunned. It's going to be crushed!"
While speaking, the corners of his lips rose slightly, there was no trace of blood on his lips, the color was extremely pale, and he looked like a faint smile.
However, because he was too close, Zhen Tingyun at this time could even see the dark color in the depths of his pupils, with a chilling anger. She couldn't help shivering, she no longer felt dazzled by such a smile, and even forgot to appreciate his handsome face that was almost unbelievable, and only felt full of fear.
It is like a fierce beast with an angry beard facing a person, the kind of fear of being bitten off its neck and being torn apart from the heart, it is horrifying, and the scalp is numb. Zhen Tingyun even forgot to push the arm that clamped his neck, and just nodded blankly.
Then the man opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"
After asking, he let go a little so that Zhen Tingyun could answer, but with two fingers still clasped around her neck, she could snap her neck at any time, just like snapping off a flower branch.
As the inn clerk said last night, he was a little hot, even the two fingers on Zhen Tingyun's neck were hot, like iron tongs that were hot and softened. However, even so, he still sat with his back straight, his posture was upright and standard, as if he had received some kind of special training. And his arms are like cast iron, solid and powerful, and they can't be pushed back. It doesn't look like a person who is feverish and sick at all.
Zhen Tingyun took a deep breath, breathed steadily, slowed down his voice, and said warmly, "My name is Zhen Tingyun. You may not know me, but I'm actually..."
Before she could finish her words, the man was a little impatient. He squeezed Zhen Tingyun's neck again, and said lightly, "I ask a question, you answer."
Zhen Tingyun: Knock your mother! Am I the dog you keep - ask a bark? !
The man didn't take it seriously, and then asked, "Why am I here?"
Zhen Tingyun looked at him, hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "My horse carried you back last night, I saw that you were soaking wet and unconscious, you really want to leave it alone for fear of an accident. It's not easy to see death and not save me, so I asked someone to bring you up."
The man stared at Zhen Tingyun, as if to distinguish whether what she said was true or false, and after a while he asked, "Why did you save me?"
Zhen Tingyun showed a hypocritical and gentle smile: "I've said it all, it's hard to see death without saving, I just do one good deed every day."
The hand around her neck tightened slightly.
"Okay, I'll tell the truth!" Zhen Tingyun had to tell the truth, "When you stole my horse in the afternoon, I saw that you were excellent at riding, so I wanted to save your life and then let you teach me how to ride."
Hearing this, the man's brows moved, and his face changed slightly. He looked at Zhen Tingyun, as if he was incredulous, and asked, "I, steal your horse?"
Although his neck was stuck, Zhen Tingyun couldn't ignore the facts! So, she responded in a low voice and euphemistically: "Of course, it's also possible that you accidentally rode the wrong way - but that's really my horse, I saw you ride it and ran away with my own eyes, and it was also the one who came back with you last night. ."
The man didn't speak, his eyes were like two nails, stuck in Zhen Tingyun's face. After a while, he smiled briefly, and then let go of the hand that was stuck on Zhen Tingyun's neck.
Zhen Tingyun took a breath, then began to cough while covering his neck, his face flushed.
Watching her cough, the man reached out and handed over a cup of tea that was already cold.
Zhen Tingyun was so flattered that he took the tea cup and held it in his hand, but he didn't dare to drink it, he just stared at him with wide eyes.
The man didn't force it, still smiling, and suddenly said, "Okay."
Zhen Tingyun blinked, a little stunned, he didn't quite understand what "good" meant.
The man said, "Didn't you say that you want to ask me to teach you how to ride? I agreed."
Zhen Tingyun: "...Also, don't force it." After seeing this man's ferocity, she already wanted to give up the previous absurd idea.
However, the man seemed to have made up his mind, and his tone was casual and sloppy: "I'm too sensitive, I'm sorry. However, the life-saving grace should have been repaid in return, and teaching a little riding is nothing. Whatever you want to learn, I will teach you."
Zhen Tingyun became more and more panicked, and said hurriedly: "No no no, I just thought about it, and I think this is actually too narrow-minded! As the so-called 'be kind and don't forget to report', if you are well, go back quickly , I really don't need to leave this to repay."
"Go back?" The man repeated playfully, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked casually, "I don't remember anything, how do I go back?"
Zhen Tingyun swallowed his saliva, and repeated a little ignorantly: "Don't remember anything?"
"Well." The man nodded, his expression calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was lying or serious.
Zhen Tingyun suddenly remembered that the son of a family in the village used to have a fever that burned his brain and became a fool. This man still has a wound on his head and a fever. Could it have burned his brain too?
Thinking of this, Zhen Tingyun couldn't help raising two fingers and asked tentatively, "Do you know what time it is?"
Saying that, Zhen Tingyun also shook two fingers.
